I am hoping someone can help my cat.
About four months ago we adopted a very sweet 7 yr old tortie from the local
shelter. Over the last month or so she developed a problem using her litter
box. She will stop using it for a few days, but unlike the usual problem, she

Hi all- My 12 yr old cat has started to vomit every few weeks. He has
been tested for
diabetes, kidney problems, thyroid disease and anything else that
blood and urine show.

The 2 neighbors didn't bring up the matter; it just developed in

hoists herself up. The vet checked her over and he found no signs of

I have a 3 and a half year old female short-haired cat.  She has always
had beautiful shiny hair, however, 4 months or so ago she started

first cat.
Last night my roommate touched my cats paw while he was sleeping. No response.

Our 4-5 month old kitten has a new habit-- washing his paws in his
water bowl. He does this frequently, especially after visiting his
litterbox. I change his water frequently, since I think the litterbox
sand could poison his water, but I'm not always around. I also got him

My pet cat is called Moony, sort for Mooncat. He is quite old, and only
has one eye, because a car hit him once. He is lucky to be alive, and
sometimes some gel forms where his damaged eye is (it is still there,
just damaged and dislodged.) What is this?May I also add that the best

Jasper Dudley passed in his sleep last night. Thank the blessed kitty
gods for taking him in a relatively peaceful manner. Last night Tim and
